The Gift

©  Lea Gomez
I will never say goodbye to you my Father
cause I know this is not the end for us to see each other.
You will only be going to a place where there’s no pain nor suffering.
I am happy for you, for you will be with God.
For now we need to go in separate ways.
I remember how your arms hold me and give me strength.
You were always there to listen, love, and defend me in everything.
You were my very best friend.
In my triumphs you were always proud.
I’m very grateful and proud to call you my dad.
Here deep inside my heart you’ll always be.
I would give up everything I have just to hug you one more time.
I remember the last time I hold you’re hand and how you looked at me in the eyes.
If only I could turn back the time I would have never let you go.
I felt the world stops and my heart stop beating when they told me you’re gone…….
How I wish I was only dreaming.
Just like the rain; tears fell down from my eyes, I couldn’t speak for a while.
Thank you Dad….
For always understanding, listening , caring, and loving me for the rest of your life.
The greatest gift God gave me was YOU…….. my Dad…
It’s difficult to let you go but I must…
I must return the gift God gave me…
Till then;
See you in Heaven………

thank you, my dad died in a car accident and I have never really gotten over it. I always asked god why he took my daddy away from me, and I hope things will get better now that I understand that this isn't the end and I will see him again.

Thank you for the poem.. my daddy also passed away just this 4th of July weekend. It was so sudden and unexpected, if I only knew, I would hug him tighter and give him one more kiss... but this is not the end since we will see them in heaven again. But yes, I feel your pain and have your hope!

That was a great poem. My dad had diabetes and a year before he died he lost one of his leg and had a stroke. The strong independent dad I once new was gone. A year later the day after Thanksgiving he got sick and was admitted. He had another stroke followed by a major heart attack and while in a coma stroked out his whole brain. After 2 weeks on life support we told him goodbye. That was probably the hardest thing I have ever dealt with.

My father died recently. He'd been suffering for 5 years, mini strokes and breathing problems. When he passed away this poem summed everything up. Although at his funeral my dear friend stood up and read the poem as I was too upset, there wasn't a dry eye in the church. I know I will see my father again, this poem is a great comfort to me. x x x x

I lost my dad a couple days ago and I had left him earlier in the evening. After reading the details of the death process, I realized I needed to go back and be with him. I did and about 40 minutes later he died. As I saw his breathes become more and more shallow I told him, dad, its ok to let go, I'll see you again when its my time. After I said that he immediately didn't take another breath. I watched him for 15 or 20 seconds and I shook him and said DAD. He took another motion to breath but nothing went in. Another 15 seconds went by, then 15 more. He didn't try again and I then called a nurse to be sure it wasn't some obstruction and she checked for me and he was indeed gone. She left me alone to be with him. I cried. I kissed his hand. I tried to straighten his head to look more real and I held his hand. As I felt his hands grow colder, I had to lay my head on his shoulder crying and telling him how much I will miss him.
